I managed to grow traveling to Barlovento among cacao plantations, rivers and beaches; I ‘m the oldest of two brothers, in the last decade I’ve been creative, researcher, objective, like to be in constant learning, "I am one of those, that every day I want to know how to do something new, a new place, collect good moments ", and improve through what has already been lived.

I've come to steemit by the suggestion of @Manuelmusic. I'm an artist, Venezuelan music producer; in my environment for a few years social networks monetization and cryptocurrency has formed a fundamental part of what to do in our profession.

As Steemians I can say that the dynamics based on blogs generates an ocean of opportunities, especially alternatives to the methods used to handle these issues, with basic knowledge in social media you can navigate in these really nice waters, because there is already a great number of fellow musicians and compatriots in the network.

"I am because we are" Are you ready to do something to be part of your community in order to improve it? "These are the important things in life and if anyone can do this, it is something very important that we should appreciate". This is how Mandela himself defined Ubuntu in an interview with journalist Tim Modise. "Umuntu, nigumuntu, nagamuntu." This Zulu phrase refers to "a person is a person because of others" is at the origin of the Ubuntu philosophy, a term that buries its roots in the depths of African culture.

The most important thing for me in Steemit is sharing and knowing and recognizing each other information and individual with whom I am, knowledge is a catalyst for change, as natural as time itself.

WHY ZWART?
